New servos for the Align 450 pro v2 3gx

[PilotClover]

I have an Align Trex 450 Pro 3gx V2 and my stock DS410M servos are now starting to jump and twitch and also have a little bit of play if you move the horn up and down without the gears in the servo actually moving.

What servos would be good for the helicopter at both good in working and good in price?

I'm a big fan of the MKS DS95. Yes, they are expensive... but you have to consider how durable they are. I have crashed hard enough to know what they can withstand, and it is impressive. They are the only servo which design the plastic used on the servo horn so that it is weak enough to strip the teeth off of itself in the event of a crash. This saves the gears, money, and a lot of repair time. I have crashed a total of 6 times with my DS95's and I have yet to replace one set of gears, only servo horns.

Besides being durable, they are super fast and powerful. Especially on a FBL machine, the speed and power will yield more precision and stability. They work on the fastest pulse width and frequency that's available...

Basically, there's a good reason why they cost $75 a pop. Good price? No. Good top of the line price? Yes.

what about 3 Savox SH0255's?

Would work fine. You know that savox makes align servos right? The ds410ms are not the same servo as the 0255 though. I highly recommend the ds95s if you have the cash or if you want something more on a budget, the hitec 5065mg. I run the 65mgs myself and they are a great servo. I know many people that run the 95s and love them. I am jelly of them.

ya if you can't fork over the money for the 95's i'd go with the Hitec 5065's as fuzzy suggested. I also run them on my 450 pro V2 and love them. they're very fairly priced, you can run either karbonite or metal gears in them (i use karbonite and love them - they'll strip in a crash so you usually dont kill the servo), and can buy the hitec servo programmer which i also use and has a lot of cool functions such as overload protection which is another failsafe for crashes

I had a set of savox 0257s on my sport, great servo. I crashed it loads of times as it was my learner heli and never stripped a servo gear only the servo horn broke. I'd recommend these and there quite cheap.

Another option from mks is the ds92a+. Basically the same as the 95's without the aluminum case. Around $50 a piece, so it would land you between the savox/hitec options and the 95's. Performance is basically the same as the 95's.
